It would appear that departure was nobles choice. Not the ideal way to lose a world class coach. Not exactly a wonder job for the next man in charge.

Sure it was  . IL wants his own man in the job.
Wouldn't be suprised if Brian Mac isn't winging his way up the M6. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

No matter what they've won.
And which world dominating side of the 80's & 90's started the trend, d'ya think? ![]()
The previous 2 Saints coaches were both there for longer than 3 years.

Quote from Graham Lowe - "I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a tripple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union ......... but I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league!"

Because Shaun Wane can get that extra 10% out of players that Brian Noble couldn't. That my friend is the difference between semi and Final. see Wigan Reserves  |

Noble brought us from a relegation team to a semi finals team and achieved that 2 years ago.
Long before then we all knew that to become a finals winning team we needed new players, a half back and a prop or two.
IL knows this and so did Noble who identified the players he wanted and he felt would take us up that level to a finals team with a hope of winning.
They haven't been signed simply because IL has decided not to. For whatever and many reasons.
The reason we have not improved from two years ago is most certainly not Noble's fault. It is down to IL and his deciding not to bring in the quality players we need to take us to the next level.

Semi finals may be good enough for most clubs but this is Wigan and semis aren't good enough for the biggest club in the game. |

| Agree with most of what you posted.
Quote: Father Ted "The reason we have not improved from two years ago is most certainly not Noble's fault. It is down to IL and his deciding not to bring in the quality players we need to take us to the next level.'"
I'd like to know why. |

Another semi another loss, we in truth never looked like winning it against a poor Saints team.
Thanks Brian for the stabilisation and the systems you have put in place but i have to say i am excited for the future, for the first time in a long time.
Regards the interview BN i think is playing the media game, something he has always been good at. He has been in negotiations with at least 1 club (not celtic) since June, so i think its a bit of a face saving exercise.
He also msaid he had not told the players, looked to me like a good few players knew it was his last game especially Tommy and Fielden in the aftermath of the game.
